i woke up on tuesday, my actual birthday, groggy... and wanting to sleep more despite the sun peeking through my window, a few birthday texts from the early hours of the day, a voicemail, my dad whisper singing happy birthday to me an hour earlier, and my mom saying happy birthday from her bed room. why couldnt i have woken up the same as yesterday??
i silently got ready (sorry mom i wish i was more of a morning person) for my loved 8am class and headed off. thankfully i had a solid 7 minutes before class and so i decided to praynal (journal my prayers.. so write instead of speak-- god can read too) at the end of that i opened my phone to a sweet text from my close friend brook that read HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL FRIEND:) i love you so stinkin much ames and i hope youre having a wonderful day so far and that you feel loved. You are loved by a God that does not disappoint and i hope that you feel cherished by Him and everyone around you today :)
i am loved by a god who does not disappoint.
WHO DOES NOT DISAPPOINT.

my morning was flipped around. completely. who am i to not get every ounce of my joy from this god who cherishes me? hello amie! the little things i was slightly disappointed by that morning...-the more sleep i wanted- the hotter i wanted my shower- the more time i wanted to get ready- the warmer i wanted it to be outside. if i would have (and really just would) look to him completely first i would feel the warmth and comfort of the only. thing. and i mean ONLY thing that will not disappoint in this life. (think about it- family relationships, friendships, relationships, food, expectations, technology, academics, etc)
so that reminder of what i have- what we all have- waiting for us to turn, look, and surrender to him- flipped my head completely. i felt so loved yesterday. i was crying at a majority of things people were saying to me, about me. it really was a sweet thing. my day led me to bww to have some yummy honey bbq boneless wings with my friends and line dancing at a country club.
